Excellent - which one did you go for? You wont regret it - they're really good cards/software. There are LOADS of applications to explore but a lot of the stuff you see on the web site is for advanced monitoring and remote center monitoring.

I'd be really interested to see if you get the delayed write errors I see when using the JPG loader connecting to either an FTP (Geovision uploading to FTP server) or direct from one of the directories that Geovision writes to.

In terms of functionality that I'd like to see - integrating the raw feeds from multiple cameras on a single ML page is the top goal for me (in something more than the second or slower refresh I currently get using the JPG Loader) - I guess one way is to use the web cam streaming features but these use ActiveX components. Would these need to run through weblobby or is there another potential route through developing a custom web library object to do this?

At the moment, Personally, I'm not too interested in integrating the remote playback or other functions of the Geovision software - this theoretically could be handled by running in weblobby anyway (although I've not tried it yet).

Anyone know if they will run under a MCE OS machine I have sitting around?

I went to their website to fill out their email form in an effort to make sure we have the latest SDK. But unfortunately it requires a bar code. Perhaps someone from here can submit a request with their bar code on behalf of Cinemar to get their SDK. We definitely don't want to look into this with outdated material.

The challenge with adding ActiveX is that it prevents us from persuing the goal of going to thin clients and cross platform compatibility. But at the same time, the UMPC's are packing some serious punch.

Essentially, this can already be done using WebLobby, without any more involvement on Cinemar's part. The integration on the users part may not be that much easier even with a plugin. We'll know more once we get our hands on the hardware and latest sdk.

I guess if we provide the option, users can pick and choose their poison.

It certainly was when I got hold of v6 (or was it v7?) a while ago - I blagged it as it used to be free and I was using that version. you might find people willing to loan it to you though!

The biggest problem I have is that error we were talking about. If you were to provide a way to get multiple (i.e. 6,7,8 etc) camera feeds onto a single ML page, spread around as per your 0019 scenes and at faster frame rates than 1 fps, I'd certainly be willing, for one, to pay for something.

I don't believe there's a way to do this currently (maybe with the streaming video beta solution???) - web lobby wont support that number of frames will it?

The only problem I get on a couple of PC's here is a 'Windows - Delayed Write Error' message - trying to save the images. I think this is a ML/Flash problem but doesn't affect the viewing too much - will persue this in a separate post when I get the chance.

Hey Paul,

After thinking about this, I wonder if this error is due to you trying to read an image while GeoVision is trying to write to that file at the same exact time.

Since MainLobby is only updating roughly 1 frame per second, i would recommend changing GeoVision to 1 frame per second.

For a serious test, you could change the update interval to a much larger #. Something like update once every 5 minutes. Then if you don't see the error after extended usage, then we've probably found the problem.
